Married To A Playgirl

Chapter 17

Kate Brillantes POV

I receive Kian's number.

"Hello" she answered briskly.

"Kian, help me. Help me," my voice pleaded as I begged her. I heard her sigh on the other end of the line.

"What happened?" she asked, her patience wear thin.

"Kian, my stomach hurts. I can't stand up. There's no one else to help me," I sniffed, trying to make her believe I was truly crying.

"Wait for me," I heard her hurry on the other end. It seemed that she was genuinely affected by my acting. Sorry, Kian and Asteria, but I need to do this if I'm not the one to upset Sorin. Maybe my mom will be angry, and I can't handle that. I just pretended my stomach hurt and acted like I was crying.

I didn't even carry anything in my womb. I am truly a sinner, especially with the Levington couple. Even if I don't want to do it, I still have to. Why couldn't Sorin be a girl? Then I could confess face-to-face with the person I love and tell the truth. She's never hurt me like this.

When I heard footsteps outside, I immediately took my place on the floor. I sat there and began pretending. The door opened, and Kian was standing there, looking exhausted.

"K-Kian," I managed to utter before succumbing to the intense pain. I closed my eyes and fainted. Moments later, she picked me up.

"Kate, wake up!" There was a hint of panic in her voice as she walked briskly, almost running.

Sorin Alvarez POV

"Hi, Doc," I greeted you, acknowledging your proximity to a doctor. I understand the importance of having many connections.

"Oh, you're Sorin. Do you need anything?" she asked. I simply smiled, my thoughts racing.

"Actually, yes. I hope you can provide it," I replied.

"Anything for you, Sorin," she smiled. This is how I operate—I help a lot, and this is how I charge them. Sorry, Asteria, but this is all for you. You are mine and mine alone. This is also for our future relationship.

"Max has brought a patient here. Her name is Kate Brillantes. I want you to release the child, okay, even though she's not really pregnant," I said, noticing my interlocutor frown.

"I might lose my license if I do that," she said fearfully, her eyes filled with dread.

"Can't you give it to me, Doc?" I asked, feeling remorseful. A smile played on my lips.

"I'll try my best," she said before leaving. Naturally, she will give it to me. I just smirked.

"You shouldn't have fought me, Kian. I have many people who can be tools. Because Asteria is only mine."

Asteria Celeste Averix Levington POV

Kian is quite slick. Do I seem like a prisoner here? It's frustrating! Should I really be confined? Why did he put a padlock on the door that only she can open? Is she afraid that I'll take advantage of the opportunity to snoop around when she's gone? She was genuinely traumatized. Well, at least I won't go hungry since there's a personal refrigerator.

I won't be bored either since there are magazines, television, and computers. But seriously, I can't even leave. I empathize with her. I can only think of one reason why she locked me in our room: she didn't want me to run away again. I stood in front of the life-size mirror and gently caressed my tummy.

"Baby, we'll have a check-up tomorrow huh?"

"When you grow up baby, don't ever make mommy cry" Not like your Mommydy.
